Could a loss in San Francisco be the end for Ben McAdoo?

Yes, the Giants don’t fire head coaches recklessly. Sure, there’s no indication that they’d make an in-season coaching change.

But this is the strangest of seasons for the Giants. A playoff berth in Ben McAdoo’s first year on the job caused expectations to shoot through the roof. And the team has tripped into a full-blown free fall, culminating in an embarrassing 51-17 home loss to the Rams.

And so, despite precedent, reputation, and all reporting, there’s talk in league circles that McAdoo could be done on Monday, if the Giants lose to the 49ers on Sunday.

The 49ers are 0-9, and the Giants have a good chance to move to 2-7 on the season. But if the 49ers find a way to outscore the Giants — and if the Giants once again create the impression that they’ve quit on their coach — there’s a chance they’ll have a new coach to quit on next week.

Win or lose, McAdoo or McAdon’t (winner), the Giants host the Chiefs next Sunday, and the Chiefs are even harder to beat when emerging from a bye week.

Don’t worry the Giants won’t lose. The Niners have no offense at all and no offensive line. But, please, God let them win one game. In the words of the great coach Klein from the waterboy: “I can’t stand losing. We gotta win one game.”

If the Giants were smart, they’d just tank the rest of the season. Losing to the 49ers would be a temporary embarrassment for the fans, but could result in drafting ahead of the 49ers. Then you can hope the Browns manage to win a game.

If Tom Coughlin was still in charge…the G men would be a playoff contender. No coinsidence the Jags are in contention. Even as an Eagles most of us in Philly, Dallas, and DC have nothing but respect for what he did in NY

beginning of the season i figured the giants were stacked, and prime for a deep run, maybe even win it all.
on paper they don’t really have any real weakness, RB is probably their weakest position.

The games aren’t played on paper. Have you watched any Giants games? They put the offensive in offensive line.

As noted, terrible o-line, terrible coaching, a lot of players who put up flashy stats but have heart.
